G_IP not cleaning up after itself

user-1525

Just upgraded to 2.98, and all seems well except that now, in my download directory there are some odd files which weren't there with 2.97

As an example there is currently a file (about 32MB and time-stamped 12:54) with the file name

15_Minute_Drama_Isaac_Asimovs_I_Robot_-_4._Liar_b08cstfw_original.m4a

It plays fine and I'm happy with it

There is also a file (about 1kB and time stamped 12:53) with the name

15_Minute_Drama_Isaac_Asimovs_I_Robot_-_4._Liar_b08cstfw_original.audio.m4a

Each downloaded radio programme has a matching file, timed slightly earlier than the main programme file...

I'm assuming that this is the perl script not cleaning up after itself, but my knowledge of perl is so sketchy that to attempt to look for the problem would be an exercise in futility. Is anybody else seeing the issue, and, if so, how have you got round it?

It is due to this:

/thread-1160.html

You can use the workaround given there or just ignore until the situation is sorted out.
